Are there any linux build config options needed to get the v4l2 functions? Can I assume that the improvements in 6.13.11 would be also in 6.15.4?

Hello Mark, Sorry, I think I solved the problem by creating a readme file. Now you can create a fork of the github projet: https://github.com/GuillaumeLopere/Armbian-TX95Max-AllwinnerH618/fork - Then you can add documents with "+" and "Upload files" - "Choose your files" and Check the box "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request" I think this is the easiest way to do it. Best regards, Guillaume

Ok thanks there. Mind you their kernel is the older 5.x branch, so I'm kinda in two minds about that. ljones

OK I've actually found the crux of the issue, though I haven't tried to figure out specifically what causes it yet. I ordered another Dumb TypeC->DP adapter cuz I figured there might be a bridge in my last one that was messing things up. It did the same thing with the messed up colors and shifted image. Then I remembered I have a typeC dock that's smart and has a DP port and it works fine. Checking Dmesg I noticed the dock sets up link training for 2 lanes @ 8.1Ghz. The dumb adapters with the bad color train 4 lanes at 2.7Ghz because that's what my display advertises. The Orange Pi5 Plus manual states: 1 x Type-C (DP 1.4A) output, up to 4K@60FPS To meet that bandwidth it needs to supply either 4 DP lanes @ HBR2 or 2 DP lanes @ HBR3. I reprogrammed My display's bridge (it's custom) to advertise only 2 DP lanes at 2.7Ghz. Now that's what the Opi does and the image is perfectly fine. So I think what happens here is the Orange Pi 5 may not actually have 4 lanes to supply over type C but it's configured so that it will try if requested. The 2 lanes of DP it can supply are incomplete as they are expecting to be merged with the other 2. When using a smart typeC dock, it intercepts the display's DPCD report and says "I only have 2 lanes at HBR3 so that's what I want". On a Type C dock with USB ports it's not possible to pull 4 lanes out of the host connection because the other 2 lanes have to be used for USB3.x. So basically the Opi has to be told the sink only has 2 lanes or it will screw up when it delivers 4 lanes and can't. I assume that's the correct assessment cuz I can plug this thing into any other PC with a real DP or type C alt and the color is fine, reporting 4 lanes over DPCD. I assume this is probably a device tree thing, I'll update the git issue on Opi's kernel repo, just figured it'd be good to let anyone trying to use it what might be going on.

Hello, I have a MXQ Pro 5G 4K TV Box with Allwinner H616 and the motherboard IK316-EMCP_V4.1. I am looking for a server (CLI only) version of the Armbian image for this device. The previously shared Google Drive links in this topic are no longer working. Could someone please provide a new download link (Google Drive, MEGA, etc.) for the latest server image compatible with my device? If there are any specific instructions for booting or the correct DTB file, please let me know. Thank you very much! Best regards, Luska1331 BTW: I generated this message with the help of Copilot because I don't speak English very well.

Difficult to say how to fix without further logs. What I am looking into and what it could possibly be related to is the simpledrm module loading alongside sun4i-drm. I wonder if you remove simpledrm then does the cursor become less erratic? Without diverging to far off topic, I suspect this related to sun4i-gpadc and how the temperature sensor is polled is carried out. The 6.12 Hdmi patches are a backport of the changes found in 6.15.

Ok, maybe @jock has some suggestions to this issue.

Thanks for the hint Sirmalinton. Today, I could solve the problem. Here is a short summary that might be of use for people running into similar issues. Running lspci -k shows the "Non-Volatile memory controller" but it does not show the line "Kernel driver in use: nvme". Hence, I ran echo nvme > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0002\:01\:00.0/driver_override echo 0002:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe where 0002:01:00.0 is from the output of lspci -k. That worked and made the disk appear as files /dev/nvme0*. To have a solution that works after reboot, I created a udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nvme-override.rules with the content: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTR{vendor}=="0x144d", ATTR{device}=="0xa80d", ATTR{driver_override}="nvme" The vendor and device IDs are from lspci -nn. To trigger the probe, I created a systemd service /etc/systemd/system/nvme-rebind.service with the content: [Unit] Description=Rebind NVME controller to driver after override After=udev.service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo 0002:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe" [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target The service can be enabled via systemctl enable nvme-rebind.service. Maybe one reason it does not work in the first place is because /lib/systemd/system/nvmefc-boot-connections.service is not started. The reason is that the condition ConditionPathExists=/sys/class/fc/fc_udev_device/nvme_discovery is not met. Another reason, I can imagine is that the vendor/device ID combination is not registered to the nvme driver in the current kernel. As I mentioned before, it did work out of the box when I installed Armbian at first.

@Igor thank you for fixing overlay-prefix problem in current armbin-config now on OZPI V1 and V3 overlays in armbianEnv.txt are without prefix

It is now half a year later, this SD-card was put back into the RPi4 and no issues there. The RPi4 has been upgraded from Bookworm to Trixie in-place (just latest pre-release) so gets quite some writes. It still has Bookworm Btrfs snapshot as well, total of about 9GB excluding 2GB swap partition and 512MB bootFAT. Avarage Btrfs scrub speed 41MB/s. The ROCK3A has no SD-card inserted anymore, running fine, except that in the last 40 days I see: root@rock3a:~# uname -a Linux rock3a 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx #1 SMP Fri May 30 01:18:17 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@rock3a:~# dmesg | grep "page allocation failure:" [ 527.016616] dmcrypt_write/2: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x800(GFP_NOWAIT), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 [2879228.441453] dec0:0:hevc_rkm: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x40dc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=user.slice,mems_allowed=0 [2879523.127829] dec0:0:hevc_rkm: page allocation failure: order:5, mode:0x40dc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null),cpuset=user.slice,mems_allowed=0 [3029341.482298] kworker/0:1: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x800(GFP_NOWAIT), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0 The middle 2 is clear what source is, the others I do not know. I think I will first upgrade userspace to Trixie. I currently have no clue what the details w.r.t. page faults mean, so have to see and figure out what issue could be or maybe mitigate somehow.

Currently using Armbian as a PiHole DNS server, it seems that after a few days the server just shuts itself down (Armbian 25.5.1 Noble 6.12). Not sure if it is a hardware related issue, I'll do some more tests and revert back to 25.2.2 Bookworm for now and see if the issue is replicated. Please note that my primary Armbian PiHole DNS does not encounter the same issue, though the version of it is Noble v25.2.3 / 6.12.30.

@JuanEsf Yep, here it is a080ed7128c898bec1cad6ec68c57bae159169d2fa06fb18008100ad63e4445c

You are right, this is a strange DTS issue. U-Boot is working, but the kernel can't initialize the SD card, which is why it drops to the initramfs shell. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this specific error myself, but I agree with your analysis. I suspect this is the same reason why newer U-Boot versions initially failed to boot for me. I will start working on fixing the DTS next week. Thanks for finding this bug!

Thanks, I'll pursue with the thread you mentioned.

Managed to get RaspAP working on my OrangePi Zero 3 (OPZ3). At the time of writing, the RaspAP quick installer script did not support Ubuntu 24.04 on my OPZ3. So, I decided to try and install RaspAP manually, based on the manual installation step on the site. It mostly went smoothly, with some hiccups along the way. Some tweaks needed were around disabling wpa_supplicant and a missing library for isoquery. Some configuration details: OrangePi Zero 3 with 1GB ram Ubuntu 24.04 (6.12.23) server image downloaded from the Armbian site After all the apt upgrades and updates, the kernal was updated to 6.12.35 Attached below is the final consolidated script that was used. #!/bin/bash echo echo "######################################" read -p "Start installation -

If you guys want Bionic, I can remove stretch, and link it. You should try to download stretch again, and try a different SD card before anything else.

I backuped the boot dir. So I don't need booting from Sd-card, armbian-install will format emmc and copy from where the boot dir? Afterward it moves the system to emmc. If I am running armbian-config there's a message "Warning: The current OS (bookworm) is not supported or not listed" it's the latest version "Armbian 21.02.1 stable 6.12.32-current-rockchip64 (Debian bookworm)" apt-get install armbian-config armbian-config is already the newest version (25.8.0-trunk.330.0708.120916) I can't see any option to install/update system

Balena etcher and rufus burned sd card into small partitions and i cant put there 2.2gb image file how to make multitool partition more then 300mb to fit image there?

@remlei I've tried several different versions of rkdevtool, and I also tried under linux with rkflashtool and with the official rockchip flash tool, it all failed. @Benedito Portela Are you able to flash the original loader back? If so, which file do you use? My rkdumper dump does not seem to have the loader included.

Raspberry images are compatible from 3b up to 5b

Hello everyone, I have the same situation. On versions 6.х.х the built-in wifi and bluetooth do not work, but the board is compatible with a 7inch HDMI LCD 1024x600 Pixel monitor. But in kernel versions 5.х.х wifi and bluetooth work, but do not work with a 7inch HDMI LCD monitor. That's how things are, just keep up with the news with new patches or builds.

What wifi do you have? Did you run rk3318-config to configure the device tree overlays for your board properly? The intent of rk3318-config script is to avoid the users tinkering with the DTS, but requires to know the board name printed on the silkscreen of the board itself. The commercial box name, instead, is often useless or misleading.

You're welcome. Checkout its plugins, called 'modules' https://www.webmin.com/cgi-bin/search_third.cgi?modules=1 and https://www.niemueller.de/project/webmin/ but some may be outdated. I haven't installed this but I will soon when I tell myself to stop watching addictive adventure and "challenge" videos on youtube, haha
